Substitute Gabriel Jesus struck two late goals to help Brazil come from behind to beat the Czech Republic 3-1 Tuesday in its final warm-up ahead of June's Copa America tournament. The five-time world champion was aiming to put Saturday's disappointing 1-1 draw with Panama in Porto behind it but it was the Czechs who initially showed the attacking flair and took the lead through David Pavelka. Robert Firmino equalized for the visitors just after the break and forward Jesus came on for Philippe Coutinho in the 72nd minute to secure the victory with two goals in seven minutes. The host, which made four changes from the side that were thrashed 5-0 by England in its Euro 2020 qualifier Friday, took the lead in the 37th minute when a deflected pass fell to Pavelka, who shot first-time past keeper Alisson. Brazil — playing without injured forward Neymar — leveled when Czech halftime substitute Theodor Gebre Selassie misplaced a pass straight to Firmino, who held off a defender and slid the ball into the net. The visitors continued to turn up the pace and grabbed the lead in the 83rd minute when Brazil substitute David Neres crossed to Jesus, who went on to wrap up the win in the final minute. Czech manager Jaroslav Silhavy said his team had paid the price for not keeping up the pressure in the second half, which allowed Brazil to take charge. Argentina wins in Morocco Argentina's Angel Correa scored seven minutes from time to snatch a 1-0 win away to Morocco in a friendly Tuesday and a much needed boost after its weekend defeat by Venezuela. Correa came off the bench to score after being set up by Matias Suarez to add some gloss to an unconvincing week for the Argentines, who had talisman Lionel Messi back in the team Friday in Madrid but lost 3-1 to Venezuela. Paulo Dybala led the attack Tuesday in place of the absent Messi, Sergio Aguero and Angel di Maria but there were few clear chances in a clash that was tempestuous in the first half with the referee having to hand out four cautions. A swirling wind made it difficult to play in the second half but Correa needed no second invitation when handed the late opportunity, running across the face of goal before hooking the ball back across goalkeeper Yassine Bounou and into the net. It was Argentina's last game before it starts the Copa Anerica in Brazil against Colombia in Salvador in June when Morocco will be at the Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt. In other friendlies, Jonathan Kodja's last-gasp penalty gave Ivory Coast a 1-0 win over Liberia in Abidjan, while Nigeria beat Egypt 1-0 with Danish-based striker Paul Onuachu scoring after nine seconds in Asaba after a defensive blunder. Pulisic scores Christian Pulisic scored his 10th goal for the United States before being substituted after picking up a knock in a 1-1 draw with Chile in a friendly in Houston Tuesday. Pulisic's goal after three minutes was cancelled out five minutes later by Oscar Opazo's fierce strike, which appeared to take a deflection on its way into the net. The United States is unbeaten after four matches under new head coach Gregg Berhalter. Pulisic, who will see out the season at Borussia Dortmund before moving to Chelsea, showed his class with the opening goal. Put through by a deft Gyasi Zardes pass that sliced the Chile defence open, Pulisic calmly dinked the ball over onrushing goalkeeper Gabriel Arias. The effort made Pulisic, at 20 years and 189 days, the youngest to score 10 goals for the national team, besting the previous mark held by Jozy Altidore (20 years, 337 days). Mexico downs Paraguay Mexico made it two wins in two matches under coach Gerardo "Tata" Martino Tuesday with a 4-2 victory over Paraguay in a friendly international at Levi's Stadium. Jonathan dos Santos' long wait for a first international goal ended as he opened the scoring in the sixth minute of his 40th appearance for Mexico. A Gustavo Gomez own goal in the ninth and Javier Hernandez's strike in the 24th extended Mexico's lead, and Luis Montes added a fourth in injury time — after Paraguay had second-half goals from Hernan Perez and Derlis Gonzalez. — Agencies
